Soy And Ginger Glazed Tofu - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 tablespoon water
    2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
    1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
    1 tablespoon sesame oil
    1 inch piece fresh gingerroot, grated
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu, drained
    1 green onion, chopped (white and some green)
Preparation
    Stir cornstarch into water in a small bowl until dissolved; set aside. Heat vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; whisk dissolved cornstarch into the soy mixture. Cook, whisking, until mixture starts to thicken, about 20 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in ginger and garlic. Set aside.
    Spray a large skillet with cooking spray; heat over high heat. Add tofu and cook, turning turning several times, until all four sides of the block are beginning to brown, about 2 minutes each side. Set aside for 2 minutes and then slice into 6 slices. Transfer to a platter and pour soy mixture over slices, then garnish with the chopped green onions.
    You can slice and brown the tofu any way that you prefer -- cut it into logs, blocks or even little bunny shapes if that's what you like!
